Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Maybe I'm being over-dramatic and negative, but at this point, I'd be surprised if they get through all of opening day without breakdowns and temporary closures.

I mean, it's expected... I waited in the transformers queue basically at boarding, on opening day I think and it broke down for an hour...

Yeah, with so many blocks, that heavily increases the chance of sensor failures. We talk that this has the most bocks and trains of any coaster, it likely has the most sensors too. Which isn't a good thing on opening day.

I remember them saying similar things to me for Transformers then later that day lo and behold...

Let's hope that's not the case today. They do have a lot of team members there though.

Softs won't happen today. I'd say Sunday at the earliest if we hear about TM Previews tomorrow.

My money's on Monday for softs, or not at all at this point. But hey, I'm ready at the drop of a hat to head down there if y'all hear anything.

I meant they let us on Transformers.

They’ll never tell you softs are definitely happening.

How long does it take to change out roller coaster wheels and axles? :-X

Oh I know. I meant I hope they didn't start letting people on, as I had already left. No way I was headed back in there. The humidity was too much to bear today.

Honeslty, the ride opens next week...It's not that big of a deal if they don't open early

Yeah, we've waited 2 years. What's 6 more days?

What’s better for opening? A great ride that breaks down or a sub par ride that performs flawlessly?

1%?

I vote for a great ride that breaks down.

You're right. Some people enjoy a good soft open from time to time though.

640 days have passed since...well, you know.

Now fewer than 6 remain (supposedly)!

Yes, they are nice, but never guranteed

They slayed the dragons?

[Evan]

One, I love banners that are going to hopefully unfurl on cue!

Two, they put more effort into the staging/camera tower then Fast and Furious the ride...

Three, can you believe this is the first major attraction since Fast and Furious the ride opened... And it's actually going to be great!!!

 

[Mike S]

They slayed the dragons?

Nevermore shall their unsightliness plague the townsfolk :wave:

 

[Teebin]

All of this excitement and yet here I sit wondering where they sourced such monstrous rope for the press setup...
